Chapter 550: Chapter 292: Top Rank Starry Sea Secret Realm [Law Tree]_2
Through the vision of two Fifth Rank Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, Song Chi quickly got his answer.
As he had anticipated, the targets of these Torch Warships were indeed this Fragment Belt. The three warships being pursued seemed to want to use this Fragment Belt to buy some time, possibly because they had already sent out a distress signal.
The pursuing fleet was also aware of this, and their attack was particularly fierce. Under the barrage of countless gunfire, even the Soldier Figurines that had entered the Void Gap could sense the faint distortion of space.
After a brief glance, Song Chi no longer continued to pay attention and refocused his mind into the Space Law Crystal in his hands.
Several hours later, just as the Purple River Translocation Device had completed its buffer, Song Chi timely retracted his focus and once again turned his attention to the two brainwave imprints.
After carefully surveying his surroundings and noticing that he could no longer sense the traces of those dozen or so warships, he exited the Ruins Market, summoned the Cang Qiong, and sped away from the Fragment Belt, ready to find a suitable space to initiate a new round of Spatial Jump.
...
The original chosen docking point was on the outskirts of the Fragment Belt, so it didn’t take long for Cang Qiong to break out of the belt.
However, just as he was about to initiate the Spatial Jump, two intense spatial fluctuations came from the side, and shortly after, two cruisers, each a kilometer long, burst out from the void.
Song Chi rubbed the center of his brow, feeling like his luck was really off today.
These two cruisers were clearly not any of the three that were being pursued earlier. If he wasn’t mistaken, they were most likely reinforcements summoned by the three warships that had been chased.
If that was indeed the case, then it would be difficult for him to clear the misunderstanding.

As expected, upon detecting the Cang Qiong, the two cruisers that had jumped in immediately sent a communication request.
Before connecting, Song Chi put on a piece of biomimetic skin mask.
This mask was an accessory that came with the biomimetic skin battle armor originally crafted from the Purple Crystal Skin of Queen Bugs. It didn’t serve much function other than making one’s face indistinguishable from an ordinary person’s, preventing any abnormalities from being seen. It came in handy at this moment.
A cruiser-class Torch Warship was not something ordinary forces could possess, let alone three of them at once. It didn’t take much to realize the power behind these two cruisers was extraordinary; therefore, Song Chi preferred not to reveal his true face.
His current identity as Seventh Sequence of the Song Family was no secret among the upper echelons of the Principality.
Revealing his true identity might spare him the current trouble, but if the forces behind the other party were to seek him out afterward, they would not come in ordinary numbers but with enough power to pose a lethal threat to the Song family sequence.
Of course, that possibility was not great.
There were not many forces in the Chenxing Principality brave enough to confront the wrath of the Song family.
Upon connecting the communication, two virtual projections quickly appeared within Song Chi’s vision.
“Sir, please identify yourself!”
“Given the recent events in this Fragment Belt, you must be aware. If you cannot provide a satisfactory explanation to the Godspeed Li Clan today, we cannot let you leave!”
Song Chi was somewhat surprised, not at the forceful tone of the other party but because the attitude was unexpectedly good, so much so that he thought he might have misheard.
“What happened to using their power to bully others, not bothering with right or wrong, and just attacking outright?”
Upon hearing the other party’s words, aside from his initial surprise, Song Chi instinctively thought that they were likely following the approach of courtesy before force.
Eventually, he focused on a key term in the previous conversation.
Godspeed Li Clan!
He had some understanding of this force, though not much, as they were not considered a giant power in the principality.
At his command, the semi-automatic shipboard AI quickly listed all available information regarding the Godspeed Li Clan recently downloaded from the family archives.
The Godspeed Li Clan of the Golden Wind Star Domain’s Floating Land of Godspeed, established 700 years ago with the support of the Golden Horn Lu Clan, produced its first Fourth Rank Torch Captain 600 years ago. As of Chenxing Calendar 5200, there are three Fourth Rank Torch Captains in the clan.
Note: This clan has an upright family heritage, and has been thriving substantially for the past two hundred years.
After reading these details, Song Chi’s mind was clear, he knew the other party had not been putting on an act.
Having confirmed this, he naturally adjusted his attitude accordingly. Since the other party was polite, he was not someone unreasonable.
“About a few hours ago, there were thirteen…”
He simply recounted what he had witnessed without any concealment. As to whether the other side believed him or not, that was not for him to decide.
The two Godwind Li family cruiser captains exchanged looks, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:
“After all, your word alone isn’t solid proof, please reveal your identity…”
Song Chi thought for a second, and the next moment, a Contemplation Diagram of the Dragon Whale Supreme – Mythical Mech from the depths of his mind was activated.
Following that, around the Cang Qiong’s hull, a spectral projection of a phantom Dragon Whale swiftly coalesced from Spectral Energy.
Ao!
With a chant, the Dragon Whale announced its identity.
Song Chi’s reasoning was straightforward; he had already concealed his face and the Song family was vast in numbers, with nearly a thousand Third Rank Torch Captains. This scope was broad enough to avoid identity exposure and to dispense with the current trouble—why not take this easy way out?
Indeed, upon seeing the phantom Dragon Whale, the expressions of the two Godwind Li family cruiser captains changed instantly, and their tones quickly softened.
“So it’s an elder from the Dinghai Song Family, we are truly sorry, it was our mistake to be abrupt!”
“Additionally, we’re deeply grateful for the information you’ve provided, brother. Thank you!”
As the conversation took an abrupt turn, Song Chi, reflecting on the influence the “Dinghai Song Family” held across the entire Chenxing Principality, prepared to engage the engines, not intending to linger.
Just as he was about to activate the Purple River Translocation Device, the two Godwind Li family cruiser captains, after a lengthy discussion, once again initiated contact and interrupted his subsequent actions.
“We have a rather presumptuous request, and we wonder if you would be interested…”
Song Chi frowned slightly and cast an inquiring look, then listened as they continued:
“The three warships that were pursued earlier belong to our Li Clan, and the pursuers were the Howell Family Clan’s fleet. They were chasing our Li Clan members because they recently discovered a Lost Starry Sea Secret Realm. If you are interested, we earnestly invite you to join us in exploring that Lost Secret Realm!”
Song Chi’s eyes flickered, and he did not proceed with the spatial jump. Instead, with a hint of curiosity, he said:
“Do you know what Rank the Lost Secret Realm is, and what kind of resources are produced there?”
Song Chi was indeed very interested in the Lost Secret Realm. As for why the other party invited him, he had a rough guess.
The Howell Family Clan they mentioned was a clan that had risen a thousand years ago, said to be supported by other powers of the principality, yet no one had provided a concrete answer over the millennium.
The Howell Family Clan also resided on the same Fourth Rank Floating Land within the Windfloat of the Li Clan, with both clans occupying this Level 4 Life-type Floating Land, leading to ongoing conflict.
However, the Howell Family Clan had deeper roots, with more than five visible Fourth Rank Torch Captains, and in the conflicts, the Li Clan had always been at a distinct disadvantage.
The direct invitation to him now was likely an attempt to leverage the name of the Dinghai Song Family, to make the Howell Family Clan hesitate.
About this, if there were indeed valuable resources within the Lost Secret Realm, Song Chi really did not care.
Upon his inquiry, the two members of the Li Clan responded truthfully:
“According to the message sent back by our clan members earlier, that should be a Top Rank Starry Sea Secret Realm, and the resource inside is a Law Tree!”
“A Law Tree?”
Song Chi’s eyes shone with excitement. This was an extremely rare resource, more valuable than the [Moyue Tree], the [Dragon Blood Tree], and the [God Tempering Fruit Tree].
